What is a "K-rail"?
A K-rail is a type of concrete barrier used to separate lanes of traffic or protect workers and pedestrians from moving vehicles. It is commonly used in construction zones, roadways, or areas where temporary barriers are needed for safety. The K-rail is shaped like the letter "K," which allows it to absorb impact and redirect vehicles away from dangerous areas.
Examples
The construction workers placed a K-rail along the highway to keep drivers safe.
